The vet will give you de worming medicine. And make sure you give them a regular flea treatment (advantage or frontline usually) because fleas cause tapeworms. You should notice new hair growing fairly soon after the worms are gone.

Sounds like worms. There is a new medication out, but you can only get it from the vet. It is Revolution. This medicaiton treats round and hook worm, fleas and ear mites. It is great. If it is a tape worm, then there is a separate pill. You may need to give it twice to be on the safe side. Either way, should be checked out by the vet to make sure they get the right dosage.

A vet will give you medicine for each of the cats based on their weight. Worms are treatable but need attention right away to prevent further harm to the cat. The vet medicine will work quickly and is quite easy to administer (if the vet doesn't do it for you). Good luck with the kitties.

Okay. They have worms? Did you make this self-diagnosis by seeing it in their poop or have you seen a vet? Because while I'm sure they have worms, a vet could tell you what kind. Ringworm, for example can cause hair loss-fur loss? Whatever. See your vet. This sounds like a parasite problem, especially since it's both of them and they no doubt share a litter box.

How did you find out that your cats have worms? If it was from a vet and they were treated, that should kill the worms, stop the scratching and their hair should grow back. Cat having worms are not unusual, they need to be dewormed once your vet determines which kind of worms the cat has.

Chris is right! It most likely is ringworm. It will have to be treated by a vet ASAP.
